  • , Netflix also accounts for 20% of all traffic in the US, as part of the up to 45.7% of data usage that online streaming media consumes in general, according to Sandvine
  • bit torrent accounted for just shy of 20% of all traffic.  In 2010, that number has dropped to 13.2%.  Considering that streaming services such as Netflix, and Hulu in the US, have grown from less than 20% two years ago to 45% in the same time frame, it’s clear that consumers want digitial content, whether it’s at home or on the go.

  • y NuIu charges $30 a month for the entire package. Would you ditch cable for that? Who wouldn't?
  • big wrinkle in this plan is Hulu's multipart parentage. NBC Universal, News Corp., and Disney (which bought in in 2009) each have a 27% stake in the firm, and each may have powerful reasons for wanting to keep HuIu away from Netflix

  • An existing $2 per month premium to upgrade DVDs to Blu-ray Discs—the much preferred format for home-theater enthusiasts—remains in place
  • The conjecture is that the new pricing will dissuade people from electing the disc-by-mail option and push us even faster toward the streaming-only model that Netflix sees as its future.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • I'm tempted to cancel my disc plan at the end of the month and may do the same to the streaming option as well. I'm an Amazon Prime member and I can stream a lot of their titles for free (well, $79 per year)
  • Even with the new pricing I am going both ways. Streaming for convenienience but like most people I can't get the highest bandwidths yet, so blu rays too. In the old days if I rented three blu rays a month locally that 18 bucks is the same I am now paying for both services for potentially a lot more movies
